Small Group Subproblems

Joe H proposed that we come up with some smaller problems that allow people to interactively solve them in short periods of time in ML meetups. We can construct a git hub project for them, create a skeleton project, and use issue tracking to list the problems and work on them. Here we list these problems and plan to build them out.

Time Series Data (Erin)

Rock Climbing (Joe H)

Rock climbing data analysis

Generate predictive system for how much someone should climb based on how they're doing that week.

Noted that amount of deep sleep can be correlated to mood, which can be correlated to climbing.

Suggestion: we all track one aspect and combine it into one big dataset.

4square Checkins (Joe H)

Use 4square checkins to find out what would be the best time to visit a place in a region.

Education Learning Problem (Tom)

Determine how people learn over time.

Figure out how difficult questions are, what kind of knowledge they test

Determine how good are people at certain types of knowledge.

Auditory Brain Cells (Mike S)

Soon to be posted data on crcns.org of auditory brain cells.

Figure out how to predict brain cell output.

Deep Belief Networks for Images/Sounds (Mike S)

Train deep belief networks on images, project output to monitor to see what network is "thinking"
